Mountains - Nightlight - Feb. 6
Experimental shows don't come much better than Saturday's display at the Nightlight. First one-man group Ghost Hand treated the crowd to waves of ambient distortion. Then Swedish group Tape melded a blissful pop sentimentality to excellent electronic sounds and elongated melodies. Next up Chapel Hill's own ever-evolving Horseback took to the room's back corner. Main man Jenks Miller teamed with Megafaun's Brad Cook for a keyboard duo performance. The two constantly tweaked the effects on their hazy sound resulting in a short peaceful set. Last up, Brooklyn's Mountains lived up to its openers. Filtering acoustic guitar and other instruments through rich reverb, the duo filled the room with engrossing sound. Relaxing, yet mentally invigorating, it was a show best enjoyed lounging on one of Nightlight's many couches, sipping a fine brew or spirit.
